Luke spent most of his twenties as a freelance writer, a private
investigator and listening to rock 'n roll. He drinks heavily on
occasion, is a half decent musician and his idea of a good time
involves a jukebox designed to bleed ears.
Luke's work has been recognized by The Inside Film Awards, MTV and The
ATOM Awards. He writes in cafés, bars and in parking lots on the back
of old fuel receipts and cigarette packets. He doesn't believe in
writers block or in the magic bullet theory and his favorite album is
Exile on Main Street.
Luke's writing is as much influenced by AC/DC and Johnny Cash as it is
by Richard Stark and Raymond Chandler. He holds a Master of
Screenwriting from the Victorian College of the Arts and has absolutely
no intention of moving to a shack in the middle of nowhere. He likes
bad traffic, noisy neighbors, cheap beer, loud bars and has been
occasionally known to howl at the moon.
Luke is the author of the best selling novels 'Dark City Blue' and 'Out
of Exile'
